Yet another person from FL

My name is Ronde and I live in the Ocala area. A friend of mine has had a HH for a while and loves it.

Long story short, I just got a HH to bring on a 7 day backpacking trip on the GA section of the AT. It will be my first real trip doing this. (Not to worry, I run a lot). Along with the AT trip, since I live close to the ONF I plan on doing some day hikes as well as some overnighters there too.

A lot of the backpacking sites speak highly of this forum and after looking around a bit, here I am.

Hello from another Central Floridian, still dripping wet behind the ears so may I ask a question right off the bat? Can you go anywhere in the ONF and camp? I'm planning to hit that area asap but don't have a clue where a person can camp.

Welcome from Kissimmee! And to Tophat, you might want to look into Hidden Pond, its about a 3 mile hike in, with plenty of trees and water to filter from. Also, there's usually a few of us HF members hanging out there each weekend. Here's some info about it, but contrary to what the USDA website says, there are no toilets Its a true primitive campsite.
